Translated Text:

Grael was once a Spear of the Mukkir He was a Blood-Warrior of Chief Daemal His arm was the strongest of the Blood-Warriors His beads of victory were many He took many wives and many slaves He fought at the Chief's left hand as they sang songs of rage

Grael failed Chief Daemal The Shining Ones from the south attacked the Mukkir Chief Daemal led the Blood-Warriors to battle Grael was overwhelmed by sorcerous light He failed to protect the back of his Chief He saw his Chief fall, singing a song of rage

Grael became a prisoner of the Shining Ones In their Great Circle, his war became their sport Every day, he raged for the fall of his Chief He slew all who came before him He took their heads and ate their hearts Every night, among the slaves, he sang songs of rage

Grael took his vengeance upon the Shining Ones He took their slaves as his Blood-Warriors His Blood-Warriors killed thousands who came for sport The blood of the Shining Ones flooded their Great Circle Grael ate the hearts of his slave-takers He offered heads to the shade of his chief as he sang songs of rage

Grael fought three days against the Shining Ones The streets of their city choked on blood Slaves fought Shining Ones everywhere The Shining Ones were many and fought with sorcery The slaves were few and had no sorcery The slaves fell and Grael fled, singing songs of rage

Grael sought Darkness to fight the Shining Ones He swore oaths with the Dark that speaks He spilled blood for the Dark that drinks He learned to move within the Dark that walks He learned to devour the light of the Shining Ones Asleep in the whispering Darkness, he dreams songs of rage
